Brentford by car

Im deciding whether to go up to Brentford by train or by car from Brighton? Whats the best route to take by car?

I'm picking my mate up from Worthing so the A24 for me upto juntion 9 on the M25 then round to the M4 and in towards london.
Will take about 1hr 15mins if that I reckon.

M23, M25, M4, A4 near Chiswick roundabout I think.

Thanks

Not sure about the parking, may only be on-street being cockney village as it is.

Be careful when parking - its all street parking and the traffic wardens come out in force for the 'big' games

There is a quicker and easier way...M23, M25, M3 which becomes the A316...you take left at the Twickenham roundabout and keep going through Iselworth until you hit a junction where you take a right (signposted Brentford). Saves you the extra M25 stretch and the A4 malarky.

PARKING - as you enter Brentford there will be a turning left and you'll see a Safeway with a car park (don't worry if you miss the left you'll see the supermarket and then know to take the next left). They sometimes offer football parking with a fixed charge there (next to the bus pick up) or you can keep driving down that road and take your chances amongst the cobbled streets.

Alternatively if you go early you can park in Chiswick (Wellesley Road and roads around there have no residents parking) and you can choose to pop into Chiswick for some high fashion pints or take the 15 minute walk into Brentford picking up a pint along the way.

Just to confirm, they will have match parking at the Supermarket.

Just checked trains getting back. I'll be driving then! Twickers route sounds good as I will be coming up the M3 anyway. Any specific pubs mentioned yet?

Safeways car park does not have pubes.

 

[Raphael Meade]

would anyone else like to answer?!

Traffic Wardens WILL be out in force looking for Non Residents without parking permits.
I usually find that parking in Ealing is the best option, bit of a walk, but not a lot of parking restrictions.

Crabtree - you must be leaving early to take your chances on the M25!!! From Worthing, the most direct route is straight up the A24 to Tolworth, A3 to Roehampton and then A306 to South Circular (A205) which takes you all the way to Kew Bridge.

Just as fast but with more options for either avoiding traffic or getting a train or tube if roads really shagged.

You will see the ground to your right on the flyover easy as pie!

If you're coming over Kew Bridge, it's the first turning on the left (A315 I think). Shortly after that, if you turn right into Ealing Road, there used to be a car park just over the railway bridge. I'm not sure if that is still there. Might be better to park the other side of the M4 and walk back.
